Answer:

Jill lost 1/3

Bill lost 1/6

and Jack lost 1/4

Make a common denominator -  let's use 12

Jill lost 4/12

Bill lost 2/12

Jack lost 3/12

Add them together = 9/12

reduce by dividing by 3.

total of 3/4 spilt

48 divided into 4 parts then multiplied by 3 of those parts

48 / 4 * 3 = 36

Which is the correct way to solve the given equation
Karolina [17]

Option 2. x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4 (1)(-21)}}{2 (1)} shows the correct way to use the quadratic formula to solve the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

For an equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 the solution is x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}.

Here a is the coefficient of x^{2}, b is the coefficient of x and c is the constant term.

x^{2} -4x=21 can also be written as x^{2} -4x-21=0.

Comparing x^{2} -4x-21=0 with ax^{2} +bx+c=0, we get that a is 1, b is -4 and c is -21.

To get the solution, we substitute the values of a, b, and c in x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}.

Step 2:

Substituting the values, we get

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}= \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4 (1)(-21)}}{2 (1)}.

\frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4 (1)(-21)}}{2 (1)} = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4 (1)(-21)}}{2 (1)}.

This is option 2.

What's m + 6/3 equals -8​
Tom [10]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

m+6/3 = -8

Simplify the fraction

m+2 = -8

Subtract 2

m+2-2 = -8-2

m = -10

or

(m+6)/3 = -8

Multiply each side by 3

m+6 = -8*3

m+6 = -24

Subtract 6

m+6-6 = -24-6

m = -30
